The Zeitfracht subsidiary WDL Aviation floated the last remaining BAe 146 regional jet on Monday. In the future, you will be traveling with a pure Embraer 190 fleet. You don't operate your own scheduled flights. The carrier specializes in providing charter and ACMI services.

WDL was the last German airline to operate the four-engine regional jet. In the past, this type was also used by Lufthansa regional subsidiaries. The D-AMGL is the last BAe 146 that was still in active service at WDL. This will leave Germany on Monday for Australia, where it will continue to be used for a new owner. Before that, a lap of honor will be made at the home base in Cologne / Bonn.

The ACMI provider used the D-AMGL for 22 years and flew with it for many other airlines. Up to six units of this type were in the WDL fleet. The four-jet engines were replaced by used Embraer 190s.

With the introduction of the E190, the Jumbolinos have not been used at WDL for a few months. Since then, however, some check work still had to be carried out on the aircraft. In the Corona phase, the aircraft could not initially be flown to the new owner in Australia, who currently operates a fleet of ten BAe 146s and uses the aircraft in wet leases for other airlines, in the charter business or as cargo aircraft. Today the last of the six passenger planes could finally be handed over to the buyer.
